Volunteering Opportunities at Autism NI
We have a range of volunteering opportunities, from getting involved in local fundraising activities and events to volunteering a couple of hours at our collections.
Whatever your background, interests, or what time you have available, you'll find that volunteering with us is an incredibly rewarding experience. Volunteers play an invaluable role within Autism NI and our work would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers freely giving up their time to make a difference for others.
Volunteer at our collections
We hold a number of collections in local towns and cities across Northern Ireland. If you can spare an hour or two of your time to help at these local collections, please get in touch. We’d love it if you could join us.
The money that we raise from collections will contribute towards our vital autism services across Northern Ireland, including our Helpline service, Early Intervention service and local Support Courses for parents/carers.
Volunteer at our events
We have a number of key events that we host every year to raise vital funds for our services. At these events we require volunteers to help with a number of jobs including stewarding, managing crowds, giving out packs/refreshments to attendees, and cleaning up.
Without the help and support of our volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to hold these events for our families. If you can help, please get in touch. We’d love it if you could join us.
Set up or join a local fundraising group
We wouldn’t be able to provide our vital services without the help and support of our volunteers. By joining one of our local fundraising groups, you can contribute your time to making a real difference to autism services in Northern Ireland.
Our groups will be meeting regularly, distributing collection boxes in their local areas, organising local fundraising events throughout the year, and represent Northern Ireland’s Autism Charity. By being part of one of our fundraising groups, this will enable you to make new friends, make a difference to services in Northern Ireland and learn new skills.
Autism NI will be there to support your group every step of the way. We can provide you with:
- Practical advice, support and assistance with event planning
- Branded merchandise and materials
- Promotion with local press
- Regular meetings
